About this course
Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering, a civil engineering degree centred on the planning, design, and construction of infrastructure in the built environment. Core topics include Mathematical Modelling and Engineering Design. This four-year integrated master's programme extends beyond the standard bachelor's curriculum by incorporating advanced specialist modules and a master's-level group design project in the final year. The first year covers core foundations through An Introduction to Civil Engineering Design and Digital Skills, Civil Engineering Fundamentals, Mathematics for Engineering and the Environment, Mechanics, Structures and Materials, and ThermoFluids. The second year progresses with City Infrastructure Design Project, Hydraulics, Liveable Cities, Mathematics for Engineering and the Environment Part II, Numerical Methods, Soil Mechanics, Structural Analysis, and Structural Design. The third year involves Geotechnical Engineering, Highway and Traffic Engineering, Individual Project, Integrated Design, and Structural Stability and Finite Element Analysis, alongside optional modules such as Human Factors in Engineering, Railway Engineering and Operations, Urban Design, and Urban Water and Wastewater Engineering. The fourth year features Group Design Project and Project Economics and Management, with options spanning Advanced Finite Element Analysis, Advanced Geotechnical Engineering, Advanced Individual Project, Advanced Structural Engineering, Bioenergy, Coastal and Maritime Engineering, Composites Engineering Design and Mechanics, Earthquake Engineering and Seismic Design of Steel Buildings, Energy Performance Assessment of Buildings, Energy Resources and Engineering, Flood Modelling and Mitigation, Renewable Energy from Wind, Wave and Tide, River and Estuary Restoration, Transport Management and Safety, Transport Modelling, Transport, Energy and the Environment, and Waste Resource Management.
